    Hey friends, I just wanted to let you know I’ll be having a little blogging hiatus as I move over to a new server. Yes, I’m server hopping again! I’ve decided to become a little more serious with my web/blog development and am now a HostGator Reseller. So if you’re interested in some competitive web…

    There’s something about ivory that makes me want to get really dressed up for a dinner out… why is that? This is not usual for me as I’m really not a fan of dressing up and probably do this once every 3 years and only because I have to. Not surprisingly the ivory keyword search…

    This is a very small selection from the latest collection by Anna Maria Horner. Please look closely at these and tell me you don’t see a paisley influence. I’m seeing paisley everywhere I go at the moment. I run hot and cold when it comes to her fabric but I’m loving the red and turquoise.…

    These gorgeous handkerchiefs (yes really) and kitchen towels are by Danish company Bungalow. I have seen them mentioned a few times around the blogsphere but they have been slow to reach Australian stores. I love their use of traditional Indian woodblock printing to create these beautiful textiles. After stumbling upon these yesterday (can’t remember where)…

    Hey friends, I hope you are having a nice day. I don’t want to jinx things but already it’s been a nice day. I had shopping expedition to the markets with both my boys, treats and really good coffee at the organic cafe and while we were out my cleaning fairy came to make my…

    Ta da! With two long weekends in succession I have been in a DIY frenzy. In a moment of absentmindedness (actually they happen a lot) I forgot the before photo of the chest of drawers but allow me to present the finished bedside tables. What do you think? We bought these in Atlanta when we…

    Canberra turned on a glorious spring day for our visit to Floriade yesterday. This was made even more delightful by finding a car park as close as possible. We had a friend visiting from Sydney and everyone had a lovely time in the tulips, on the ferris wheel and all the treats that seem to…

    The taste of spring in the air today has definitely influenced my sky blue choices. We have had a glorious weekend and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of watching the change of seasons. I’m now on leave for 10 days and today was a Canberra public holiday. We are off to Floriade on Thursday…
